More inclusive festivals/holidays

[jasuin]

The Egg Festival and Feast of the Winter Star both seem like pretty clear mirrors of Easter and Christmas IRL, which a lot of people (including myself) don't celebrate for a variety of reasons. It would be super cool to have some edits to the festivals to make them more inclusive :)

This could look like

Editing the festivals to be less specific (ex. making the egg festival less easter-y by making it a hide-and-seek game or make it a full on festival about eggs and spring, sprite editing to take out holiday symbols like the christmas trees and candy canes in the feast of the winter star) Editing the festivals to have more possibilities (ex. adding a menorah and kwanzaa candles you can buy and display during the feast of the winter star) Dialogue that expands on the holidays, where different villagers either discuss how they celebrate, or say that they don't celebrate, or you can say that you don't celebrate or that you celebrate something different and they respond positively

It would be a big undertaking to fully edit the festivals, but the smaller changes like some more dialogue branches and festive items available to use would be so cool even on their own!

Not sure about the egg festival, but there's already a mod to make Winter Star look less like Christmas: https://www.moddrop.com/stardew-valley/mods/1115687-solstice-winter-star
